Re: Predict The 2014 Headliners A Year In Advance

If we're going to keep talking about Sigur Ros for whatever reason, can someone at least do me the courtesy of explaining how the next album/six months of their career will advance them to some level of headlining popularity that they haven't achieved yet? Is there a demographic for complex, moody Icelandic post rock that hasn't been tapped since 2000/01?

I mean, the popular ceiling for this band has pretty much been set where it is for a good six to eight years at this point, right? The Black Keys had a whole bunch of late 2011 hits and started playing arenas and stuff when they came back to headline a year later after subbing.

Yes. Their set on the outdoor this year was pretty sparsely populated, so can't imagine them headlining.

My GF and I left Phoenix about mid-way through (they were amazing but we needed to catch some sigur ros) and had a really easy time getting pretty close up, there weren't too many people there.

Let me start with...

Nine Inch Nails
Depeche Mode
